? Quad Motor Cybertruck and Crab Walk (Independent Front & Rear Wheel Steering) Confirmed!!

[Ogre]

Modern day bait and switch. It doesn’t look good for Tesla to take a price range that many can afford, put them on hold for 2 years, to a bigger and better truck that will cost way way more…… so for all the fans that thought they were getting the best in the world, just found out it’s second best, and only a few can afford it.

“Switch” implies they’ve removed some option from the table which isn’t really clear from the current news.

Lots of people assume they have, but it’s a giant pile of assumptions right now.

Oh, it will be under $100,000 but on the other hopes, no point in dreaming when they're not going to happen. Just hurry up and cancel your order.

If I cancel my order, it will be so I can by the Semi.
Not that it would help you any. I didn't order mine until June of this year.

Will 4 motors allow for a bit more ground clearance through the middle?

It always cracks me up when I pull up behind a truck with a 3 ft. lift kit and both front and rear differentials are still 9 or 10 inches off the ground with no way to change that.

You’re gonna have to give some context to where you got those numbers in order for me to debate. I’m running numbers based on other Tesla vehicles announcements and actual release cost, percentage of increases, software development, and a number of other variables. It’s a low ball guestimation but that’s my opinion.

Algebra on the numbers. 40k, 50k and 70k. 250, 300 and 500 miles. 1, 2 and 3 motor. Assuming costs and price are somewhat linear. Tesla can of course charge some random number. I suppose anyone can make a guess or have an opinion. I just did the math.

In my experience, only miserable people are able to take a small bit of good news and use that to leverage a bunch of irrational negative assumptions, not evidenced by the facts, in order to interpret it in an overwhelmingly negative manner.

Only miserable people do that. There is nothing rational about it.

What's really telling is this: When asked what they are basing the price rise on they say, "It's obvious the price has to go up because all the materials they need to make the truck have gone up in price". Oh, OK, then why are you treating Tesla as if they have done something bad here when only YOU have imagined the price went up and your only evidence is that the price HAS to go up due to rising material costs.

It's so whacky it boggles the mind.

The big thing which boggles my mind is this idea that **Tesla** will be increasing prices by 40%. It’s inevitable. Over and over “It’s inevitable” that a 40% price bump is out there.

Ford? Nah…

Rivian? Nah

GM? They’re good.

Tesla…? 40% price increase INEVITABLE.

WTF?

I have on good authority, from top people, the price will not go up for the first 250,000 units.

TOP people.

I should make a tweet to make believable.

As you make the tweet, would you mind making it the first 400,000? ?

Me, after scrimping and saving every last dollar for the last 2 years in the desperate hope that I can afford to buy the Cybertruck when it comes out.

"It comes with 4 motors now? Cool."

Mercedes-EQ might be interesting but it definitely NOT a pickup truck.

My heart leapt when he made those comments. I think he said he thought it was going to Tesla's best product ever (or something close to that).
